The Court of Appeal has upheld the 14-year jail term handed to Godfrey Wamala alias Troy for his role in the death of musician Moses Ssekibogo, commonly known as Mowzey Radio.
The Court of Appeal today in a decision by three Justices, Christopher Gashirabake, Dr Asa Mugenyi and John Mike Musisi upheld the sentence handed to Wamala by Lady Justice Jane Frances Abodo on October 28th 2019.
Abodo, who is now the Director of Public Prosecutions, sentenced Wamala to 14 years on charges of manslaughter after finding that he didn’t kill Mozey maliciously.
Abodo, however, deducted the time Wamala had spent on remand and accordingly sentenced him to 12 years, 3 months and 4 days.
Dissatisfied with the conviction and the sentence, Wamala appealed the sentence in the Court of Appeal.
However, in their decision, Justices Gashirabake, Mugenyi, and Musisi have upheld the decision on the basis that they have not found any reasons to fault her because the sentence was within the range provided for in the sentencing guidelines. END.
